Autauga Co. crime reports

The following reports were among those filed during the period Nov. 9-12 by officers of the Autauga County Sheriff's Office:

Nov. 9

? A County Road 43 resident reported that a man had called his residence several times since Nov. 1, "upsetting him and his mother about a stolen motor he alleges that (the complainant) took."

According to the man, one of the messages included the threat, "when I see you, it's on." He told deputies that he previously worked on a vehicle for the alleged offender. The vehicle's motor was reportedly "left in the yard of a nearby residence and later stolen."

Nov. 10

? A Marbury resident reported that someone stole an $875 utility trailer and $400 worth of lumber and wooden flooring from his property. He told officers that the trailer was "rusted, with two bad tires on one side and two good tires on the other side."

? A man told deputies that another man threatened to harm him, then assaulted him and his vehicle as he tried to get away from the scene.

The complainant said he was at a Marbury residence when another man arrived and said his ex-wife complained that the man who filed the complaint "had attempted to flirt with her for sexual purposes." The second man reportedly had a gun and told the first man to leave or "harm would come to him."

The complainant said he got in his truck to leave, when the other man "hit him on the forearm with a wooden stick and busted the windshield of his truck," causing damage of $275. The victim said he "left the residence as fast as he could, in fear of his life."

Nov. 11

? A Wetumpka man, 38-year-old Gary Wayne Bedgood, was arrested on a warrant charging him with making harassing communications.

? Derek Anthony Garrity, 22, of Deatsville was arrested on a warrant charging him with third-degree assault.

? Joshua Scott Thomas, 21, of Prattville was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. No details were provided.

Nov. 12

? A woman told officers that a man came to her residence, near Marbury, and "began cursing her and her sister." According to reports, the man, who had a handgun underneath his T-shirt, claimed that someone at the residence had stolen his cell phone.

? A Marbury man was arrested after officers responded to a report of a grass fire near an unoccupied mobile home.

Sheriff's reports show that Rocky Lane Watley, 34, was in the yard of the home with a water hose, spraying the fire, when deputies arrived. Watley, who was reportedly "staggering as if he could barely stand up," told deputies that he had started the fire and forgot about it.

Marbury Volunteer Fire Department personnel arrived and put out the fire. They told county lawmen that they had responded to a similar incident at the same residence the night before.

When deputies tried to question Watley and check him for weapons, he reportedly "became nervous" and "took off running." He was caught after a short foot chase, and deputies found a pocket knife, a lighter and a "glass meth pipe" in his pockets.

A computer check determined that he was the subject of outstanding warrants from Chilton County, Prattville and the Alabama Department of Corrections. Watley was taken into custody and charged locally with one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest.
